What a lovely surprise to find this message! Yes, it's been a year. I've been absorbed in too many other issues lately to do much serious reflection on the band, but I'll check in soon. Thanks!

I think I'm gonna cry! I've been looking at the half-empty side of life lately (must be all those screwed-up hormones), and sometimes I forget where I was 12 months ago: not only 65 pounds heavier, but with high blood pressure, joint trouble, problems walking without getting winded, not to mention a sense of hopelessness about my weight. But, thanks in part to the wonderful people at LBT whose posts I read before taking the big step, I wasn't quite ready to resign myself to a (short) lifetime of total fatness. Maybe I haven't lost as much as I hoped to, but without the band I surely would be at least 275 lbs. by now. And I would have missed online friends like all of you! Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and a special thank-you to Eileen, who thoughtfully started the thread.

BTW, my goal weight is still 160 -- by my second bandiversary, August 26, 2006.

Zoe, well done. Sixty-five pounds is nothing to scoff at. You deserve a pat on the back and a shopping trip hehe. Keep up the good work :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
